Note 33 — Chapter XII · INHERITANCE.

The statements in this paragraph are taken from Isidore Geoffroy St. Hilaire, ‘Hist. des Anomalies,’ tom. i. pp. 688-693. Mr. Goodman gives, ‘Phil. Soc. of Cambridge,’ Nov. 25th, 1872, the case of a cow with three well developed toes on each hind limb, besides the ordinary rudiments; and her calf by an ordinary bull had extra digits. This calf also bore two calves having extra digits.
